Eucharist and Living Earth

New and Revised Edition

'I believe that its radiant mystery' will shine forth not simply when the rubrics are fully observed but when the Eucharist is understood in its widest significance, namely, as expressing Christ's intention to offer his nourishing presence to the whole of creation, from the fireball event of beginnings to this present, threatened moment of existence.'

In this book, Hugh O'Donnell explores how the cosmic dimension of the Eucharist draws us into communion not alone with Christ and with one another but with the whole creation.
